About Ruskin Infant School

Ruskin Infant School sits within the North Northamptonshire local authority, a large area with 111 primary schools where only two currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself is rated Good, placing it in the solid middle tier of local provision. Among its immediate peers in the area, the top-ranked schools are Gretton Primary Academy, Stanion Church of England (Aided) Primary School, and Broughton Primary School, all of which serve older primary pupils. Ruskin is an infant school, catering for children from age 2 up to 7, so it feeds into junior schools rather than competing directly with full primaries. Headteacher Henry Gallyot leads a school of 230 pupils, well within its capacity of 318. The school has a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 40. 4%, significantly above the national average, and offers nursery provision for the youngest children.
